ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES FOR MARCH 16.1999 (#2469 Bruc« and Betsy Nutbaum, continued) Schroeder indicated he was in agreement with McMiiian. Hawn remariced that this might not be consistent with what the Pianning Commission has done on previous applications. Weinberger suggested that perhaps the Applicants look at constructing a two and a half story house to help reduce structural coverage. Mrs. Nusbaum indicated they would be willing to reduce the size of the garage. McMillan indicated she would be willing to consider keeping the structural coverage for the residence as proposed if the garage is reduced. Schroeder commented he would be willing to approve the 16.8 percent structural coverage given the other reductions the Applicants are making to the hardcover. Hawn expressed concern that this might be setting a dai 'gerous precedent. Schroeder moved to recommend approval of Application #2468,3460 North Shore Drive. McMillan inquired if the Applicants do reduce the size of the garage, would it need to appear before the Planning Commission again. Smith stated in her view it appears this application would be denied as presented, noting that the Planning Commission would like to see structural coverage reduced. Smith inquired whether the Applicants would like this application to be tabled at this time to allow them additional time to revise their plans or whether the Planning Commission should act on this application tonight. Mrs. Nusbaum inquired what the Planning Commission would like to see as far as structural coverage Lindquist commented the Applicants will need to hold to the 15 percent structural coverage in order for him to approve this application. Schroeder withdrew his earlier motion. Schroeder moved, Smith seconded, to table Application #2468,3480 North Shore Drive, to allow the Applicants time to submit revised plans. VOTE: Ayes 6, Nays 0.
